    Default First Post: Fishing Bay Short-ear

    I decided to share a favorite from a week ago of a Short-eared Owl from Fishing Bay Maryland as my first post to this forum. I had the opportunity after many weeks of waiting thes guys out to get over 400 images of different poses from 4 different birds. Taken with the Canon EOS 5D (Older), Ef 400 f2.8L with the newest 2X III teleconverter. Near full frame at 800mm, ISO 800,, f6.3.



    C&C Most Welcome!

    Welcome to BPN Jim! You picked a great image for your first post on Avian. Like the fluffed up feathers, eye contact, and sharpness. The BG suits the bird quite well. There's a little noise apparent in a couple of places. The new 2x really comes into its own when stopped down a full stop (f/8 in this case). Not sure what your shutter speed was, but trading a little of it for more DOF could have improved image quality.

    the pose is great but the image quality is lacking, maybe too much noise reduction or a very tight crop.
